摘要:
Disclosed is a method for determining haplotypes useful for large-scale genetic analysis, within a genomic reference sequence of interest, for a human subpopulation. The method can applied to statistically evaluating the genotypes of subjects for any statistically significant association with a phenotype of interest, such as insulin resistance or coronary artery disease. Thus, also disclosed are a method of detecting a genetic predisposition in a Mexican-American human subject for developing insulin resistance and methods of detecting a lower than normal risk in a Mexican-American human subject for developing insulin resistance or coronary artery disease.

The method can applied to statistically evaluating the genotypes of subjects for any statistically significant association with a phenotype of interest, such as insulin resistance or coronary artery disease. Thus, also disclosed are a method of detecting a genetic predisposition in a human subject for certain biological conditions, which may be related to coronary artery disease.
摘要:
Methods of diagnosing susceptibility to metabolic insulin resistance and other related conditions are disclosed. The method provides means of diagnosing susceptibility to insulin resistance in Hispanic Americans by determining the presence of a risk haplotype at the LPL locus, the LPIN1 locus, and/or elevated levels of gamma-glutamyl transferase.
摘要:
The invention provides methods of treating and prognosing atherosclerosis and lipid response to statin treatment by determining the presence or absence of haplotypes at the lipoprotein lipase locus. In one embodiment, the invention is practiced by evaluating the prognosis of vascular grafts in an individual undergoing statin treatment by determining the presence or absence of haplotypes at the lipoprotein locus.
摘要:
Disclosed are methods of predicting the development of medically refractory ulcerative colitis (MR-UC) in a patient In one embodiment, disclosed is a method of prognosing ulcerative colitis in an individual by determining the presence or absence of one or more risk variants, where the presence of one or more risk variants is indicative of a severe and/or aggressive form of ulcerative colitis. In another embodiment, the severe form of ulcerative colitis is indicative of MR-UC.

摘要:
The present invention relates to prognosing, diagnosing and treating of Crohn's disease. The invention also provides prognosis, diagnosis, and treatment that are based upon the presence of one or more genetic risk factors at the FUT2 genetic locus.
摘要:
The present invention provides a method of diagnosing or predicting susceptibility to Crohn's disease in an individual by determining the presence or absence in the individual of a disease-predisposing haplotype containing a JW1 variant allele at the NOD2/CARD15 locus, where the presence of the disease-predisposing haplotype is diagnostic of or predictive of susceptibility to Crohn's disease.
摘要:
The present invention provides a method of diagnosing or predicting susceptibility to an autoimmune disease in an individual by determining the presence or absence in the individual of a 2-2-4 haplotype at the Notch4, HSP70-HOM and D6S273 loci, where the presence of the haplotype diagnoses or predicts susceptibility to the autoimmune disease. The methods of the invention can be particularly useful for diagnosing or predicting susceptibility to Crohn's disease, rheumatoid arthritis or type I diabetes mellitus. In a preferred embodiment, a method of the invention is used to diagnose or predict susceptibility to Crohn's disease in an individual of Ashkenazi Jewish ethnicity.
摘要:
The present invention provides a method of diagnosing or predicting susceptibility to a clinical subtype of Crohn's disease characterized by fibrostenosing disease by determining the presence or absence in an individual of a fibrostenosis-predisposing allele linked to a NOD2/CARD15 locus, where the presence of the fibrostenosis-predisposing allele is diagnostic of or predictive of susceptibility to the clinical subtype of Crohn's disease characterized by fibrostenosing disease. In a method of the invention, the clinical subtype of Crohn's disease can be, for example, characterized by fibrostenosing disease independent of small bowel involvement. The invention also provides a method of optimizing therapy in an individual by determining the presence or absence in the individual of a fibrostenosis-predisposing allele linked to a NOD2/CARD15 locus, diagnosing individuals in which the fibrostenosis-predisposing allele is present as having a fibrostenosing subtype of Crohn's disease, and treating the individual having a fibrostenosing subtype of Crohn's disease based on the diagnosis.
